Mark Rein says lack of Next Xbox talk "is more perception than reality"
Publisher Thunderful Games and developer Image & Form Games have released a “gameplay deep dive” trailer for turn-based RPG sequel SteamWorld Heist II.
SW: Heist was the first game in the series I played actually so I'm very excited to play this.
“April was an indie-heavy month and it was hard to pick the best games but here we go! Hope you have fun and see something you like.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Perception is their problem, if developers perceive MS as not interested then support for the next xbox could suffer. Especially with the smaller devs who may only be able to work with one console for starters and there's Sony with hands outstreched but MS nowhere to be found.
Perception, although sometimes superficial, can actually turn out to be very important.
@ironfist That doesn't change the fact that Sony had a big gaming presence at GDC and MS did not. Developer percecption will still likely be influenced.
That is nonsense. The only hype they are getting is people wanting to know if all the negative things they heard like blocking used games and always keeping the Xbox on are true or not.I don't see how anyone could see that as positive in any way.No one saw all the bad things they were saying about the PS4 as positive or as hype in any way.I am not sure how hundreds of people yelling they are going to buy a Wii U or PS4 if the things they are saying about the next Xbox is true is hype in any way.
All eyes were on the PS4 before GDC is I am not sure why you think anyone will take their eyes off it after it or after E3.Just because your eyes are on the next Xbox doesn't mean they will be off the PS4 in any way.In fact people will be even more critical of the next Xbox if it doesn't live up to the PS4 or Wii U and it's flaws will be magnified.It isn't hype if everyone is watching to see if the negative things being said about you are true or not. That isn't hype.Not sure how Microsoft's silence is genius but Sony silence about certain things is a horrible thing? People like you sure know how to spin things in your favor. If it was Sony you would be sure people like you would be saying how sacred they must be and developers just don't want to support the PS4 or some ignorant crap. But since it's Microsoft it MUST be genius.
So it is real!? OMG!
I believe 720 was being spoke about at GDC just behind closed doors
I honestly give two poops. I am on the hype train for PS4, and I have already preordered a bunch of those announced releases on PS3 with the intent that I'll roll them over to their PS4 counterparts. Diablo III, Destiny, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Watchdogs, etc.
As for the Xbox. All I hear is negativity, but hey, the same crap was said about the PS4 before its announcement. I'm fairly confident I'll pick up whatever Microsoft announces when it's available, but if my current habits carry...most of my gaming will be on PS4 moving into the next-gen.
